The 1113 is the bus you would catch if you wanted to stutter from Marble Arch to Edgware.

Also, 1113 days ago, and another 25 years, the Challenger Space Shuttle blew up.

Back to roads again but these don't come up very often! The A1114 is that rare beast, a duplicated road number - there's one in Gateshead and another one in Chelmsford. It's a good job the fine folk of SABRE keep an eye on these appalling lapses, or it would be the end of civilization as we know it :)

The Audi type P Launched in 1931 had an 1122cc engine which developed 30 hp. This gave the car a top speed of 50 mph. Not bad for the 1930's.

The Buell 1125R

The 1125R is powered by a 1,125 cc (68.7 cu in) Helicon V-twin engine made by BRP-Powertrain (Rotax) of Austria. The liquid-cooled engine has a V angle of 72 degrees and produces a claimed 146 hp (109 kW), with a rpm limit of 10,500. Motorcycle Consumer News tested 127.1 hp (94.8 kW) and 71.1 lbf·ft (96.4 N·m) at the rear wheel.

This engine produces nearly 5 time the hp than that of the 1122cc engine in the Audi type P.
